Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has praised Spain for refusing to allow its military bases to be used in US strikes against Iran.

In a post on X, Pezeshkian said Spain’s decision showed that “ethics and awakened consciences still exist in the West,” The Caspian Post reports.

He also commended Spanish officials for opposing what he described as military aggression against Iran.

Spain's responsible conduct in opposing the Zionist-American coalition's flagrant human rights violations and military aggression against countries, including Iran, shows that ethics and awakened consciences still exist in the West.
I commend Spanish officials for their stances.

Earlier, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez warned that the ongoing conflict could trigger a major global disaster.

“We’re not going to be complicit in something that’s bad for the world nor contrary to our values and interests simply to avoid reprisals from someone,” Sanchez said in a televised address.

His remarks came after US President Donald Trump said Washington would cut trade ties with Spain following Madrid’s refusal to allow its bases to be used for strikes on Iran.
